what was the price unfitted?

its a fairly simple job. all you need is a 10mm spanner and a 17mm spanner. and a screw driver to get the clip off.

then bleed the air out of the lines.

and away you go. with a bit of cash spared.

$50 each custom made - any length - at B&R brakes in Blacktown, including armour coil if you want it. usually same day - if I order before about 10am they are done and ready to pick up by lunchtime.

Theres 3 lines in our hilux kit. $112 for all three . How is $50 each or $77 for two cheaper ? $5 to 7 would cover postage pretty well anywhere.
